  • Title: Orthodontic single tooth intrusion with a removable interocclusal device: A clinical report.
    Author: Slighly C, Ramos V, Brousseau S.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2013 May; 109(5):283-6. PubMed ID: 23684276.
    Abstract:
    Interdisciplinary therapy was used to treat a patient missing a single posterior tooth opposing an extruded tooth. The simple technique used a removable interocclusal device and elastic band for orthodontic intrusion over a 2-month period after implant placement in the opposing arch to aid in prosthetic site development. This approach was designed to increase the interocclusal space needed to restore the implant, obtain a more consistent occlusal plane, and improve esthetics. Clinical and radiographic examinations at the 6-month follow-up revealed an acceptable occlusal relationship and improved esthetic appearance that was achieved with the documented course of treatment.
